"They arrived with their mail shirts
Glittering, silver-shining links
Clanking an iron song as they came."

"Sea-weary still, they set their broad,
Battle-hardened shields in rows
Along the wall , then stretched themselves
On Herot's benches."

"Their armor rang;
Their ash-wood spears stood in a line,
Gray-tipped and straight: the Geats' war-gear
Were honored weapons."---Beowulf

Valhalla I am coming!

I love America, where a Cuban immigrant, now a citizen, quotes Beowulf on the internet in response to a post about a silly but effective animation of a Led Zeppilin song.

Good morning, Luis, and thanks for the Beowulf quote!
